Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier) novel Chapter 266

Originally, Xavier wanted to be in the same car as Winnie, but it was not the time to be haggling over tiny matters like that.

Hence, he quickly went to the back and drove off the car with Riley and Jacinta in it.

When he was overtaking the car in front of him, Winnie had already crawled into the back seat to check on Rachel. The moment she heard a car approaching, she turned around subconsciously.

Coincidentally, she met Xavier’s eyes.

However, they only met briefly. In fact, it was so brief that Xavier did not manage to flash her a smile.

Winnie’s heart skipped a beat as she watched the car disappear from her sight.

She stood rooted to the ground with her eyes fixed on the car.

“Hey!” It was not until Josiah waved his hand in front of her she snapped back to reality.

When he saw her still in a daze, he could not help but smile and tease, “Why are you staring so intently when he’s already so far away? You’re going to turn into a statue if you keep that up.” Suddenly, he saw Winnie placing her hand on her chest. “H-Hey… Are you okay?”

He frowned and asked, “Are you feeling unwell? Where does it hurt? Your chest or your heart? Did Harold injure you just now?”

Winnie frowned and shook her head. “No. I’m fine. I’m just a little flustered and out of breath. Don’t bother about me. You should go check on Rachel. I found her when I got into the car, but she seems to have been unconscious the whole time. I’m guessing she was already like that when they brought her out of the hospital because they didn’t tie her up. She probably had no energy to struggle or resist. God knows what they have done to her?”

“Okay. Calm down. Let me have a look,” said Josiah as he took out a medical flashlight from his pocket.

He lifted Rachel’s eyelids and pointed the flashlight at them, carefully observing her pupils’ reaction before saying, “It isn’t a serious problem. My guess is that she was injected with some sedative. That’s why she’s unconscious. Well, it’s a good thing too. With her current mental state, her being conscious could create trouble for us. Sit tight. I’ll get into the driver’s seat and drive.”

“Okay,” Winnie answered, wanting to shut the door.

Unfortunately, the car door was on her right, and she could not use her right arm at that moment. Hence, she had no choice but to use her left. However, it would be a little strenuous if she did that.

Josiah, who had been watching her every move from the corner of his eyes, immediately held her left arm after noticing her struggle. “Don’t move your injured arm. Here, let me do it.”

With that, he leaned over and helped her to close the door. He then got out and made his way to the driver’s seat.

When the engine started, Winnie found Josiah’s medical flashlight by her feet. He must’ve dropped it when he bent over to close the door.

Carefully studying the tiny flashlight in her hand, Winnie smiled and said, “I can’t believe you have this little thing with you, even at a place and time like this.”

Little thing? Josiah instinctively touched the pocket on his chest, which made him realize he had dropped his flashlight.

He met Winnie’s gaze through the rearview mirror and grinned. “People who are dedicated to their work are generally quite lucky. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have gotten the chance to rescue General Kane’s beloved daughter. In fact, today’s happenings were all thanks to her. If not, you people would be in deep trouble.”

Winnie frowned slightly. “Exactly. Harold is such a cruel person. We really thought we were done for. Unexpectedly, you suddenly appear in a tank.”

Josiah laughed out loud. “What do you think? Did I look cool just now?”
